I am from NC. The lawyers that I have consulted  with have told me that I must have my husband's medical records reviewed by state approved expert doctors that have agreed to testify, if necessary.  The experts have to determine that there is cause before a lawsuit can be filed.  I must pay out of pocket to have these experts review the files.  This could be $3000 -  $5000.  If the experts determine there is cause, I can then file a suit and undergo the stress and strain of the suit.  On the otherhand, if the experts determine there is no cause, I am out the money.  I don't have money to throw around, but I don't want my husband's doctors and hospital to cause even one other person to go through what my family has endured this year.  I have been advised to go out of state to find a lawyer to handle my case.  People have implied that the doctors, hospitals, malpractice insurance companies and lawyers are all "in bed together".  I don't know where to turn for advice and assistance.
